Foreword by Bjarne Stroustrup Software is generally acknowledged to be the single greatest obstacle preventing mainstream adoption of massively-parallel computing. While sequential applications are routinely ported to platforms ranging from PCs to mainframes, most parallel programs only ever run on one type of machine. One reason for this is that most parallel programming systems have failed to insulate their users from the architectures of the machines on which they have run. Those that have been platform-independent have usually also had poor performance.Many researchers now believe that object-oriented languages may offer a solution. By hiding the architecture-specific constructs required for high performance inside platform-independent abstractions, parallel object-oriented programming systems may be able to combine the speed of massively-parallel computing with the comfort of sequential programming.Parallel Programming Using C++ describes fifteen parallel programming systems based on C++, the most popular object-oriented language of today. These systems cover the whole spectrum of parallel programming paradigms, from data parallelism through dataflow and distributed shared memory to message-passing control parallelism.For the parallel programming community, a common parallel application is discussed in each chapter, as part of the description of the system itself. By comparing the implementations of the polygon overlay problem in each system, the reader can get a better sense of their expressiveness and functionality for a common problem. For the systems community, the chapters contain a discussion of the implementation of the various compilers and runtime systems. In addition to discussing the performance of polygon overlay, several of the contributors also discuss the performance of other, more substantial, applications.For the research community, the contributors discuss the motivations for and philosophy of their systems. As well, many of the chapters include critiques that complete the research arc by pointing out possible future research directions. Finally, for the object-oriented community, there are many examples of how encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism can be used to control the complexity of developing, debugging, and tuning parallel software.

The inventor of C++ presents the definitive insider's guide to the design and development of the C++ programming language. Without ommitting critical details or getting bogged down in technicalities, Stroustrup presents his unique insights into the decisions that shaped C++. Every C++ programmer will benefit from Stroustrup's explanations of the 'why's' behind C++ from the earliest features, such as the original class concept, to the latest extensions, such as new casts and explicit template instantiation.

Some C++ design decisions have been universally praised, while others remain controversial, and debated vigorously; still other features have been rejected based on experimentation. In this book, Stroustrup dissects many of these decisions to present a case study in "real object- oriented language development" for the working programmer. In doing so, he presents his views on programming and design in a concrete and useful way that makes this book a must-buy for every C++ programmer. Features

• Provides insights into the design decisions which shaped C++.
• Gives technical summaries of C++.

A self-contained, intermediate-level introduction to the structure and syntax of Common Lisp, this text is the first based on the draft ANSI standard for Common Lisp. Presents the concepts of object-oriented programming and incorporates the Common Lisp Object-Oriented Systems (CLOS) of the new ANSI standard. Includes end-of-section exercises. The end-of-chapter problems are answered at the back of the book.

Unlike any other programming language, Haskell is purely functional with a strong type system and lazy evaluation. It is arguable the most interesting language but also has the reputation of being one of the most challenging to learn. Learning Haskell doesn't have to be difficult, and this book can help! Get Programming with Haskell introduces you to the Haskell language without drowning you in academic jargon and heavy functional programming theory. By working through 43 easy-to-follow lessons, you'll learn Haskell by doing Haskell. This book starts with first concepts, building your knowledge with concrete examples and exercises. You'll learn to think the Haskell way, as you start to understand the language and how to use it effectively. And you'll really appreciate the crystal-clear illustrations, quick-checks, and open-ended tasks that make sure you're solid on each new concept before you move along! KEY FEATURES * Full of interesting examples * Easy approach to functional programming basics * Write safe, predictable code with fewer bugs * Lots of illustrations and exercises Readers should have some experience with JavaScript, Python or Ruby. No functional programming or math skills required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Haskell is a purely functional programming language. It treats programs as much like math as you can, requires you to think more than you type, and can express the idea of infinite lists in code! These are just the more obvious features that make Haskell unlike any other programming language AUTHOR BIO Will Kurt currently works as a Data Scientist at Quick Sprout. With a formal background in both Computer Science (MS) and English Literature (BA) he is fascinated with explaining complex technical topics as clearly and generally as possible. He has taught a course section on Haskell at the University of Nevada, Reno and given workshops on Functional Programming. He also blogs about probability at CountBayesie.com.

The object-oriented paradigm supplements traditional software engineering by providing solutions to common problems such as modularity and reusability. Objects can be written for a specific purpose acting as an encapsulated black-box API that can work with other components by forming a complex system. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the many facets of the object-oriented paradigm and how it applies to software engineering. Starting with an in-depth look at objects, the book naturally progresses through the software engineering life cycle and shows how object-oriented concepts enhance each step. Furthermore, it is designed as a roadmap with each chapter, preparing the reader with the skills necessary to advance the project.This book should be used by anyone interested in learning about object-oriented software engineering, including students and seasoned developers. Without overwhelming the reader, this book hopes to provide enough information for the reader to understand the concepts and apply them in their everyday work. After learning about the fundamentals of the object-oriented paradigm and the software engineering life cycle, the reader is introduced to more advanced topics such as web engineering, cloud computing, agile development, and big data. In recent years, these fields have been rapidly growing as many are beginning to realize the benefits of developing on a highly scalable, automated deployment system. Combined with the speed and effectiveness of agile development, legacy systems are beginning to make the transition to a more adaptive environment.Core Features: 1. Provides a thorough exploration of the object-oriented paradigm. 2. Provides a detailed look at each step of the software engineering life cycle. 3. Provides supporting examples and documents. 4. Provides a detailed look at emerging technology and standards in object-oriented software engineering.

Readers familiar with Horstmann's original, two-volume "Core Java" books who are looking for a comprehensive, but condensed guide to all of the new features and functions of Java SE 9 will learn how these new features impact the language and core libraries. Instead of the meticulous detail that the much larger two-volume set provides, this condensed treatment focuses on practical examples and is presented in bite-sized chunks. As with Java 8, Modern Java idioms are no longer required and there is a much faster, easier pathway for learning Java. Horstmann quickly cuts to the chase without lecturing about the superiority of one paradigm over another or rehashing Java history. Given the size of the Java language and the scope of the new features introduced in Java 9, there is a great deal of new material to cover, but it is presented in small chunks organized so that you can quickly retrieve it when needed. This book covers all aspects of Java that a modern developer needs to know, including modularity, as well as the powerful lambda expressions that were introduced in Java 8. It will also tell you how to find out more about old-fashioned concepts that you might still see in legacy code, but won't dwell on them.
